do you agree with steve and what is your solution to the u.s. debt problem? the first response comes from congressman jerry moran 3 >> this is one of the most serious issues our country faces. at this point in our country's economy, we cannot raise taxes. any increase in fica or withholding taxes on employers and employees is a terrible mistake. raising taxes is not an option. we're looking at long-term in criminal changes in the social security system that will provide benefits over a long trip of time. the truth is, if we are going to address our deficit issues is about changing our tax code, eliminating rules and regulations and allowing the american people to go to work. -- poor and small businesses and men and women have an idea to bring to market and we have to get government out of the way. much of that has to do with the uncertainty of washington and what it is doing today. what person is going to grow the business when they are uncertain about what is known to happen with health care, tappan trade, and what is want to happen with financial regulation
